Abstract
A bath receptor includes a first basin, a second basin, and a partition positioned between the first basin and the second basin. The first basin includes a first whirlpool system configured to direct water in a first rotational direction within the first basin. The second basin includes a second whirlpool system configured to direct water in a second rotational direction within the second basin. The second rotational direction is opposite the first rotational direction. The partition is physically coupled to the first basin and the second basin.
